Setting off tomorrow!!

Last day at work today, packing in the morning and ought to try and cat nap tomorrow afternoon because I'm picking up Sally & Jon about 2.30am to drive to Heathrow. Reckon I'll be too excited to sleep though...

I've not done as much training as I planned (ain't that a surprise?) and only partly because I had a nasty cold which floored me last week. However, here's a snap of me joining in with Rachel Clark's run a mile a day - being pushed along by Piper as you can see:

And we did have a brilliant "Mojo Move-a-thon" where Rare Species' unique Cheryl Sprinkler lead a solid three hours of silly dancing without stopping for even a minute. We served gin and raised a tidy £505 towards our total. The three of us have raised over £11,000 between us now - so proud.

Fake Snow

My mate Sally Hooper has signed up to join me on the Arctic adventure - yaaayyyy!
Here's a photo of the three of us Fromies in Victoria Park with our dogs - all looking very unlike they will haul us anywhere soon - and with fake snow on what was a really quite mild day. Hilariously, about 6 inches of snow fell just the week after so maybe we had summoned it down with our photo opportunity!

Training is going....OK-ish. I cricked my back doing one too many exercise classes and adding in Pilates that I've never done before. But it takes more than that to stop Knaggr. Lovely Ashley Gregory has donated me a month's free pass to her Pilates studio so I just concentrated harder on doing the exercises properly the next time and also went for a session with back wizard, Peter Scruby. So many  talented Fromies to fix you when you're broken.

Better crack on - we'll be there six weeks today. Yikes.
